Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon-True Mother's Sunday Sermon at the Manhattan Center


 
 

Nov4, 2012

How have you been doing? Are you okay? Please be seated.

How long was it when you saw me the last time? Anyone who came to the Seonghwa ceremony in Korea, please raise your hand. Not so many people. You watched Father’s Seonghwa ceremony, and what did you feel?

Lately New York and New Jersey suffe
red a lot from Hurricane Sandy. I am aware of that, and while I was traveling, I witnessed it, and also I know it was not easy for you to come here today.

I really want to say something nice to you, but I cannot. Do you know why? We know the Divine Principle and we learned the meaning of indemnity. God prepared people for each age, and if they cannot fulfill their responsibility, then people will have to pay indemnity. Without paying indemnity, they cannot really make progress. You know that, right? You know that, right?

“You Are Chosen People”

What do you think I am going to say at this point? Do you think there is some kind of indemnity, some kind of judgment? If you cannot realize that, then you will have to pay greater indemnity. Do you know that? So what should you do? It’s not a matter of just working hard. That’s not good enough. You are chosen people. You are chosen family members and you are from the chosen nation, America.

However, in front of God, in front of heaven, in front of humanity, you are very much indebted. In your lifetime, you cannot pay it back. Even if you pay through many generations in the future, still you may not be able to pay everything back. Do you know why? When God chose the Israelites, do you know how much suffering God went through? God finally sent Jesus, his begotten son. He was born, yet what did the people of Israel and Judaism do? They let Jesus die on the cross.

The history of Christianity is 2,000 years and what happened to the people of Israel? They could not avoid indemnity. You need to understand this. I already said, in God’s providence, whether it is a people or individuals or a nation, if they fail to fulfill their responsibility, then they will have to pay indemnity. You need to understand that. If so, today what is the situation in America?

“America as the Elder Son Nation”

Ever since Father founded the Unification Church, he always worked for God. His life has always been public. Out of 60 years, Father spent 40 years here in America. I’m not exaggerating it at all. Our Fatherland is Korea. However, Father invested a longer time here in America. Why? Because Father loved all humanity and Father gave incredible blessing to America as the elder son nation. His responsibility is to bring all siblings to True Parents. You should think of it day and night. Have you ever thought about that?

At this time, True Parents, the Messiah, the Savior, came here to America. We have a small number of Blessed Family members. Why don’t all people know about the Lord of the Second Coming? Whose responsibility is this? If you cannot fulfill your responsibility here on earth, what will happen when you go to the spirit world? There are more than six billion people here on earth. At some point in time they will have to go to spirit world. What will happen?

There are already many spirits in the spirit world, and at that time they will accuse you, and you cannot stand before them. You will have to run away before them. Have you ever thought about it? That’s the reason why Father worked day and night without resting at all, all his life. Even myself, I lived with Father. I have never slept more than three hours while I was living with Father. That’s why I am always tired. I am a human being too. Yet now our Father went to spirit world and he is beyond time and space, and he will be working harder, right? He will have no time at all to sleep.

I’m saying this today not only for you but for future generations, for your posterity, especially descendants; I want to open up a path for them. If you do not fulfill your responsibility, then your descendants will have to carry a heavier burden. They will suffer more. That’s what you need to understand. I’m not trying to give you a hard time. That is a fact.

A Need for a “Turning Point”

Hyung Jin’s couple came to visit Father in Hannamdong [True Parents’ residence in Seoul, Korea], and one day Father said, “Okay, Hyung Jin, if I am drowning and your wife is drowning, who are you going to save?”

“Oh, of course, I have to save you first.” That’s what Hyung Jin said. Then Father laughed. Then Hyung Jin talked to his wife about it. “The reason I said that is because if I don’t save True Father first then I will live in hell forever.” That’s what Hyung Jin said.

What about you? Do you think you fulfilled your responsibility or not? If you didn’t, then what should you do? You have to risk your lives and then you have to invest yourself 100 percent. However, the way you have been living will not work. You need to come up with some kind of turning point.

You watched the video of the Seonghwa ceremony. Whether it is Father or me, we are totally united. There is a preparation time period for us to be totally one. Think about it.
Suppose you purchased a house. What do you do once you move in? First, you need to turn on the lights, right? Then you would buy some furniture, and you prepare for the house to be livable, right? Then you can start enjoying life there. The 40-day time period was very important for both Father and me.

Father really trusted you, yet despite Father’s trust and love for you, the result is very, very disappointing. Father said, “Maybe I should not have done that.” That’s why I said, “Okay, let me bring our church members back to the beginning time of our church.” Then Father said, “Omma, thank you.” That’s what Father said.

Our church members in the old days still have the heart of devotion and sincerity. But there was an incredible gap between generations, between the older generation and the younger generation, and Blessed Central Family members, especially senior family members, did not think of the future of this nation. Since you really did not take care of your children better, educate them better, Heaven is really agonizing over it.

Father worked so hard all of his life. He raised all people and Father wanted all family members to really restore their tribes and people in society. If they really fulfilled it, then when Father passed away, we could have sent him off in a much better way. All 6.5 billion people would have noticed what happened. They would have decided what kind of path they had to go. However, we were not prepared for that.

A Pledge to Take Responsibility

I feel we committed incredible sins, and we are very much indebted to heaven. So during this time, I want to see you pledging yourself that you will take responsibility. First, you need to really repent. You must be humble first. Do not ever talk about what you want. There are so many things that we really did not do right. We did not bring good results, and you must be speechless. Even if you have a mouth, you are not qualified to open it. If so, who can you really accuse? You yourselves are the problem more than anything, don’t you think so?

You should wear humble clothes and be really wailing for 365 days. Still, that would not be sufficient because you are such a sinner. You really want to be loved, but you do not want to share love. We could not really make progress. For 40 years, our Father worked so hard, yet our Unification Church members could not fulfill their responsibility. If we had an incredible 100 million people as members, then the situation in America will change, don’t you think? So while I was struggling in America, once again I asked for forgiveness from Heaven.

Mothers should be stronger in educating their children. That’s why I talked to my daughters-in-law, and I said, “You should become even stronger than your own husband.”

The Israelites suffered a lot. They paid incredible indemnity, yet to this day they are doing quite well. Why? Because of their mothers. Did you know that? The same should be true of Unification Church families. You women should be able to do things well and raise your husbands right. Do you know that? So mothers should not be only loving, tender and sweet. Mothers should be able to spank also. Do you welcome it? If you welcome it then applaud out loud.

The Necessity for Repentance and Devotion

Representing the entire world, you need to really repent. Although Father worked so hard here for 40 years, there is nothing you have returned, and you are so unworthy in many ways. Yet True Parents still have compassion over us. We will fulfill our responsibility this time. You Unificationists, I want you to become that kind of person, please. Will you follow my words? This is the last time that I can trust you. There cannot be another chance. This is your last chance.

Until the end of my life – I don’t know how long it will be, maybe 20 years, 30 years – I will do my very best. Every day I’m going to gather some reports from people throughout the world. Do you understand what I’m trying to say? Since I’m going to work that hard, I want you also to work hard as well. Once again, I am pleading with you.

When you go to the spirit world, if Father can say, “Oh, here you are. I’m glad to see you,” that’s the kind of people we should become. You should become such children of God and True Parents. That’s what I wish from you. I think I spoke quite a bit and I’m not going to speak any longer. We need to really express our devotion and love to our Heavenly Father and our True Father.

I suggest to our family members that we can express our love to God and True Father. We can sing for him.

Songs were offered from Various Groups including True Children, Daughters in-law, Korean, Japanese and then American Leaders.

Birthday Address, Sun Myung Moon, January 31, 2009, Manhattan Center, New York, NY

Beloved citizens of God’s kingdom of Cheon Il Guk! Let us all celebrate without reserve this historic and providential day and sing praises to God, our eternal true parent, of His glory and nobility! On this solemn occasion, hundreds of billions living in the spirit world are here with us to congratulate and celebrate this blessed day.
Today is the day that God has been waiting for and has yearned for ever since He created the universe. For tens of thousands of years, since the day Adam and Eve, whom He created as His children, stained the heavenly lineage and concealed themselves in the dark, God has endured and waited in inexpressible pain and sorrow. God has waited impatiently for the day He could ascend to the throne as the king of kings, to be able to embrace His lost children and the creation again and live in joy for all eternity in the sacred reign of peace in the peace kingdom.
Ladies and gentlemen, God is and has always been the king of kings, even before He began the Creation. The heavenly way, however, dictates that after creating all things, God must manifest substantially as the king of kings who reigns over the world of physical phenomena, which is the sphere of the objects of God’s love. That is why, with true love, God sought and found the True Parent of this physical world, who was to become His representative and heir.
Although we are overwhelmed by the grace of having received Heaven’s seal, my wife and I are truly joyful to be able to stand here as God’s direct representatives and hold this coronation for the king of kings. At the same time I am deeply sorry before Heaven; I have reached my 90th year of life, yet I have been unable to fully restore the 6.5 billion people of this world to God. Citizens of the kingdom (Cheon Il Guk) who love God! Heaven will no longer wait. God is working with His authority as the king of kings through His representatives, the earthly True Parents, to establish heavenly law and restore this world. It is time to accelerate this true love revolution.
Therefore, on this solemn occasion today, I will proclaim to all of heaven and earth the outline of the heavenly law by which humankind and all things of creation will regain their rightful positions and be governed.
First, this era, which is moving toward the third millennium, will be the “Era of revolutionary change after the coming of heaven.” In this era, we will no longer be ensnared by the principles of restoration through indemnity; it will be the time when the king of kings rules the spirit world and physical world with His rightful authority. It will be an era of the providence that will return the earth back to its original state with the realm of the Pacific Rim serving as a central axis. People will no longer be beyond the influence of Heaven’s ways and the heavenly law. Therefore, you must lead a transparent life with your every action being as clear as a crystal.
Second, we must accomplish a revolution in educating all people on the value of absolute sexual ethics, with God as their vertical, absolute axis. This is the only way to pass on the lineage of goodness to all of humankind. That is the path to achieving God’s ideal of true families. From now on, sexual purity, purity of lineage and purity of love will be the educational philosophy of the human race.
Third, the Peace King Representatives (boon-bong-wangs) and the “Parent UN” will be placed at the forefront of the efforts to completely eliminate the walls and barriers that surround this earth in multiple layers and to reinstate harmony and peace between political parties, religions, races, cultures and nations. The existing UN (which stands in the position of the Cain-type UN) and the Abel-type UN should become one and elevate to a higher dimension, becoming the Parent UN, in other words, the “Peace UN.” Centering on the Peace UN, war, disease, hunger and all other problems confronting the world will be addressed and resolved. All people must surely go this way. They will have no choice because God and True Parents will be with them. Individualistic self-centeredness as well as collective self-centeredness will be completely eradicated, and this will lead to the realization of a world governed by our conscience and natural reason with no need for the election of leaders.
Fourth, the cross-cultural, international blessing of marriage is the optimal method of establishing true families that will purify the lineage of the fallen human race and build the peace kingdom. In the end, reconciliation and peace will come about through lineage. When blacks and whites, people from the East and West, Buddhists and Christians, and Jews and Moslems intermarry and carry on the blessed marriage tradition that True Parents have established, this world will naturally become one family. An ideal, heavenly kingdom based on the ideal of “One Family under God” will come about. As we melt our guns and cannons to make plows and hoes, a world of peace will open up before us.
Fifth, God created us as His counterparts in love, and He prepared the natural world as a gift for us, His children. God would not leave His children to live in a barren desert devoid of beautiful scenery. That is why all people have the duty to preserve and love the natural world. I am saying that you should develop your human nature as it was originally meant to be, such that you experience resonance even with a cluster of wild flowers as you share a heartfelt conversation with them. That will be the shortcut to restoring humankind to God.
Ladies and gentlemen, you have all truly received a heavenly blessing. You are participating in the ceremony to launch the providential undertakings governed by the king of kings. You are witnessing with your own eyes the whirlwind of this historic transition point. You received an invitation to attend the coronation of the True Parent, the king of kings on the horizontal level, who will govern all of creation as the physical representative of God, the king of kings on the vertical level. Will you ever again, in your lifetime, have the chance to attend such a historic and significant occasion? Your ancestors numbering in the billions are cheering and dancing in joy and light at this time, shaking the very axis of the earth!
I pray that you will open your mind’s eye and engrave this extraordinary and historic moment on your soul. When else during your life will you be able to witness such a day of blessing and glory as you have today? I hope that you can heed the words of Heaven that I have shared with you today and use them as guidelines for your life from now on.
I pray that the great blessing of God, the king of kings, will fill your families, nations and all of heaven and earth abundantly. 

 

 

 

Address to Congratulate the Successful Publication of "Becoming a Peace-Loving Global Figure"

Sun Myung Moon
June 1, 2009

Beloved families who have recently received the new lineage of the absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal God through the Blessing, and citizens of God’s kingdom of Cheon Il Guk!
We are celebrating a truly special occasion in this absolute providential era. It is deeply meaningful because we are commemorating the coronation and the golden wedding anniversary of the True Parents, the king of kings; the publication of my autobiography, and the fifty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity. Today is June 1, a day on which we are holding a new historic event through which the establishment of the new, truly peaceful world of the True Parent UN is proclaimed before all of heaven and earth. For these joyful occasions and days, let us all offer applause in gratitude to God, our Heavenly Father -- who governs the life, death, fortune, and misfortune of all creation -- for giving us these beautiful and dazzling seasons and days.
During this season, vibrant with life, God is beckoning all of you -- as lords of creation -- to freely participate, with all other created beings, in the creation of new life. He is blessing us to blossom beautifully like flowers and to live lives that are as bright as the sun and as clear as the waters of a stream.

The Results of God’s Providence in History

Dear friends who are receiving Heaven’s love anew: On three occasions, once on January 15 and twice on January 31, we held the historic Coronation for the New Authority of the Liberation of God, the King of Kings, and our golden anniversary celebration. January 31 saw one such ceremony held at the Cheon Jeong Peace Palace in Korea, representing the East, and another held in New York City, in the United States, representing the West. In this way, we set the record of offering this historically unprecedented and never-to-be-repeated providential event to Heaven in two different locations on the same day.
In the period since April, my wife and I commemorated the fiftieth occasion of the day of our Holy Wedding. In 1960, young students on the Korean peninsula were crying out in resistance to the dictatorship [of Korean President Syngman Rhee]. On the sixteenth day of the third month of the lunar calendar in that year, my wife and I received Heaven’s seal and embarked on the arduous courses of the providence of restoration that the True Parents, True Teachers, and True King and Queen of humankind must take.
How could I even begin to explain the path of the providence of restoration through indemnity that my wife and I have had to follow for the past fifty years in order to finally bring complete liberation and freedom to God and to attend Him as the king of kings? Many years from now, historians will verify and record what I cannot explain at this time.
You are probably not aware of this, but there is profound providential significance in True Parents’ coronation and golden wedding anniversary. Due to the Fall of humankind’s first ancestors, God’s true lineage was lost, and history came under the dominion of Satan’s false bloodline. I am sure you have learned about this reality through studying the Principle.
This corrupted bloodline has been a facet of history. Isn’t it because of this that the physical world -- and even the spiritual world -- became completely mired in antagonistic, confrontational, good-versus-evil, Cain - Abel relationships? Nobody has been able to find a resolution to this tragedy, and history’s problems have gone unresolved to this day.
Times are now changing, however. The doors to the realm of complete unity between Cain and Abel are being opened on the occasions of True Parents’ coronation and golden wedding anniversary. We have entered the realm of grace in which human beings can be restored to the level of completion and perfection, where they can inherit and share the original nature of God’s heart -- in other words, to the originally intended human state, without any trace of the Fall.
In terms of O [correct answer] and X [incorrect answer], we have entered the new era when the good governance of God, who is in the position of O, can completely embrace and digest, without leaving a trace of it behind, the evil governance of Satan, who is in the position of X. The new era is beginning in which the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven is substantially spreading out before your very eyes.

The Round Ball Peace Cup Tournament

On this occasion, which has a special significance, my wife and I celebrated our coronation and golden wedding anniversary and successfully held the Round Ball Peace Cup Cain - Abel Cosmic Harmony Tournament for thirteen days starting on April 21. One day it will become a festival of peace for all humanity, even surpassing the Olympic Games.
The Atletico Sorocaba soccer club from Brazil contributed greatly to this first tournament by laying aside everything else to come here at True Parents’ invitation. Sorocaba won the FA Cup championship in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2008. During its short time in Asia, it played against four teams, representing North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and China. It displayed an excellent standard of skill and demonstrated the soul of Latin American soccer. Would you please give a warm round of applause to encourage the Sorocaba team!
Ladies and gentlemen! I would like to offer to Heaven this precious new ceremony by reading with you now the message from Heaven that I proclaimed in January at the Coronation of God, the King of Kings and thereafter at our golden anniversary celebration. Please engrave the meaning of today’s event upon your hearts.

God Has Been Seeking for True Parents

Citizens of God’s kingdom of Cheon Il Guk who love peace as True Parents do!
This is truly a precious and joyful day.
Let us all celebrate without reserve this historic and providential day and sing praises to God, our eternal True Parent, of His glory and nobility. On this solemn occasion, hundreds of billions of those living in the spirit world have descended and are here with us to congratulate and celebrate this blessed day.
This is the day God has yearned for ever since He created the universe. For tens of thousands of years, since the day those whom He created as His children, Adam and Eve, stained the heavenly lineage and concealed themselves in the dark, God has waited while enduring inexpressible pain and sorrow. He has waited impatiently for the day He could ascend to the throne of the King of Kings, to be able to embrace His lost children and the creation again and live in joy for all eternity in the sacred reign of peace in the peace kingdom.
Ladies and gentlemen, God is and has always been the King of Kings, even before He initiated the Creation. The heavenly way, however, dictates that after completing all aspects of the Creation, God must manifest substantially as the King of Kings who reigns over the world of physical phenomena, the sphere of the objects of God’s love. That is why, motivated by true love, God sought and found the True Parent of the substantial, physical world, who was to become His representative and heir.
Although we are overwhelmed by the grace of having received Heaven’s seal, my wife and I truly feel joy at being able to stand here today as God’s direct representatives and hold this coronation for the King of Kings and our golden anniversary celebration. At the same time, I am deeply sorry before Heaven; I have reached my ninetieth year of life, yet I have been unable to fully restore the 6.5 billion people of the world to God.

A Revolution of True Love

Citizens of Cheon Il Guk who truly love God! Time is running out. Heaven will no longer wait for us. God is working with His authority as the King of Kings through His representatives, the earthly True Parents, to establish a new heavenly law and restore the world. It is time to accelerate this true love revolution. Therefore, on this solemn occasion, I will proclaim to all of heaven and earth an outline of the new heavenly law, by which humankind and all things of creation will regain their rightful positions and be governed.
First, this era, which is gradually bringing us toward the year 3000, will be the “era of revolutionary change after the coming of heaven.” In this new era, God will no longer be captive to the principles of restoration through indemnity; it will be the time when the King of Kings rules the spiritual and physical worlds with His rightful authority. It will be the era of providential refuge [from evil], during which the earth will return to its original state, with the realm of the Pacific Rim serving as a central axis. People will no longer be beyond the influence of the era of the new way of Heaven and of the new heavenly law. Therefore, you must lead a transparent life with your every action being as clear as crystal.
Second, we must accomplish a revolution in educating all people on the value of absolute sexual ethics, that is, on the constitution of Heaven, with God as its vertical, absolute axis. This is the only way to pass on the true, good lineage to all humankind. That is the path to achieving God’s ideal of true families. From now on, sexual purity, purity of lineage, and purity of love will be the educational philosophy of the true human race.
Third, the new peace-king representatives (boon bong wangs), Ambassadors for Peace, and the “Parent UN” will be placed at the forefront of the efforts to completely eliminate Satan’s walls and fortifications that bind the earth in multiple layers and to reinstate harmony and peace between political parties, religions, races, cultures, and nations. The existing UN (in the position of the Cain-type UN) and the Abel-type UN should become one and elevate to a higher dimension, becoming the True Parent UN -- in other words, the UN of a truly peaceful world. With this as the center, all evil problems confronting the satanic world -- such as war, disease, and hunger -- will be resolved. This is surely the direction all people must go. They will have no choice because God in heaven and True Parents will be with them. Individualistic self-centeredness as well as collective self-centeredness will be eradicated, and this will lead to the realization of a world governed by our conscience and natural reason.
Fourth, the cross-cultural, international blessing marriage is the optimal method of establishing true families that will purify the lineage of the fallen human race and build the peace kingdom. In the end, reconciliation and peace will come about through lineage. When blacks and whites, Eastern peoples and Western peoples, Buddhists and Christians, and Jews and Muslims intermarry and carry on the blessed-marriage tradition that True Parents have established, this world will naturally form the realm of one family that seeks and establishes God’s homeland and hometown. An ideal, heavenly kingdom based on the ideal of one family under God will come about. As we melt our guns and cannons to make plowshares, a new world of peace will open up before us.
Fifth, God created us as His counterparts in love, and He prepared the natural world as a gift for us, His children. God would not leave His children to live in a barren desert devoid of beautiful scenery. That is why all people have the duty to preserve and love the natural world as God does. I am saying that you should develop your human nature as it was originally meant to be, such that you experience resonance even with a cluster of wildflowers as if you were sharing a heartfelt conversation with them. That will be a shortcut to restoring humankind to God.
Ladies and gentlemen who have been chosen by Heaven! You have all truly received a heavenly blessing. You are participating in the ceremony to launch the providential undertakings governed by the King of Kings. You are witnessing with your own eyes the whirlwind of this historic transition point. You received an invitation to attend the coronation, golden anniversary, and celebration of the autobiography of the True Parent, the king of kings on the horizontal level, who will govern all of creation as the physical representative of God, the King of Kings on the vertical level. Will you ever again, in your lifetime, have the chance to attend such a historic and significant occasion? Your ancestors, numbering in the billions throughout the cosmos, and your descendants will cheer, dance, and live in joy and delight at this time, shaking the very axis of the earth.
I pray that you will open your mind’s eyes and engrave this extraordinary and historic moment on your souls. When else during your life will you be able to witness such a day of blessing and glory as you have today? I hope that you can heed the words of Heaven that I have shared with you today and use them as guidelines for your lives from now on.
Ladies and gentlemen who have been chosen by Heaven! I am sure you all feel this from the message I have just read, but humankind is entering a new providential era wherein the earth will be governed directly by a new heavenly way and new heavenly law. It is the new, providential era of the realm of the fourth and original Adam, when no one can enter the new Kingdom of Heaven without inheriting God’s new standard of heart based on His original nature. Through True Parents’ providential coronation, golden wedding anniversary, publication celebration, and the commemoration of the fifty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Holy Spirit Association in this new era, I pray that you may form wise and new families of citizens in God’s Kingdom, Cheon Il Guk -- families whose members clearly distinguish between Cain and Abel in their lives, who integrate them into a new realm of Abel, placing goodness at its center, and who restore the realm of the three eras of the Old, New, and Completed Testament ages and the three generations of my family. I am asking you to form, and live as, new true families based on original human nature through which the new true grandparents, true parents, and true grandchildren can enter, hand in hand, into the new Kingdom of Heaven. Please engrave on your hearts the meaning of this gathering to establish the truly peaceful world of the True Parent UN, which we are celebrating today.
I pray and proclaim in the names of the victorious True God and True Parents that the new authority of the great blessing of the true God, the King of Kings of all nations, can flow abundantly into your new families, new nations, and throughout the new cosmos.
May God’s blessings fill the entire cosmos.
Thank you very much. 



The Outline Of Heavenly Law

Sun Myung Moon
May 1, 2009
Cheon Jeong Gyeong, Korea

Beloved citizens of God’s kingdom of Cheon Il Guk, who have received the Blessing!
We are celebrating a truly special and providential day. It is deeply meaningful because we are commemorating both the Golden Wedding Anniversary of the True Parents, the king of kings, and the fifty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity.
Furthermore, it is the historic day on which the establishment of the new True Peace Parent UN is proclaimed before all of heaven and earth. On this joyful day, let us all offer applause in gratitude to God, our Heavenly Father -- who governs the life, death, fortune and misfortune of all things -- for giving us this beautiful and dazzling spring day.
On this spring day, vibrant with life, God is beckoning all of you -- as lords of creation -- to freely participate, with all other created beings, in the creation of new life. He is blessing us to blossom beautifully like flowers and to live lives that are as bright as the sun and as clear as the waters of a stream.
Beloved new family members: On three occasions over the two days of January 15 and 31, we held the historic Coronation for the Right of the Liberation of God, the King of Kings. January 31 saw one such ceremony held at the Cheon Jeong Peace Palace in Korea, representing the East, and another held in New York City, in the U.S., representing the West. In this way we set a record through offering this providential event -- which is unprecedented in history and never to be repeated -- to Heaven in two different locations on the same day.
This past April, my wife and I celebrated the fiftieth occasion of the day of our Holy Wedding. The cries of the young students who resisted dictatorship finally ushered in a new spring on the Korean peninsula in the spring of 1960. On the sixteenth day of the third month by the lunar calendar in that year, my wife and I received Heaven’s seal and embarked on the arduous course of the providence of restoration that the True Parents, True Teachers and True King and Queen of humankind must travel.
How could I even begin to explain the path of the providence of restoration through indemnity that my wife and I have had to walk for the past fifty years to finally bring complete liberation and freedom to God, and to attend Him as the king of kings? Many years from now, historians will verify and record what I cannot explain at this time.
You are probably not aware of this, but there is profound providential significance in True Parents’ Golden Wedding Anniversary. Due to the fall of humankind’s first ancestors, God’s true lineage was lost and history came under the dominion of Satan’s false bloodline. I am sure you have learned about this reality through studying the Principle.
This inverted bloodline has been a facet of human history. Isn't it because of this that the physical world -- and even the spiritual world -- became completely mired in antagonistic Cain-Abel relationships of confrontation and struggle? Nobody has been able to find a resolution to this tragedy, and history’s problems have gone unresolved to this day.
Times are now changing, however. The doors to the realm of complete unity between Cain and Abel are being opened on the occasion of True Parents’ Golden Wedding Anniversary. We have entered the realm of grace wherein human beings can be restored to the level of completion and perfection at which they can inherit and share the original nature of God’s heart; in other words, to the originally-intended human state, without any trace of the Fall remaining.
In terms of O and X, we have entered the era when the good governance of God, who is in the position of O, can completely embrace and assimilate, without leaving a trace of it behind, the evil governance of Satan, who is in the position of X. The era is beginning in which the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and in heaven is substantially spreading out before your very eyes.
This spring, which has that kind of special significance, my wife and I celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary and successfully held the Wonku[1] Peace Cup Cain-Abel Cosmic Harmony Tournament for ten days starting on April 21. One day, it will become a festival of peace for all humanity, even surpassing the Olympic Games.
The Atletico Sorocaba football club from Brazil contributed greatly to this first tournament by laying aside everything else to come here at True Parents' invitation. Sorocaba won the FA Cup championship in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2008. During their short time in Korea, they played against four teams, representing North Korea, South Korea, Japan and China. They displayed an excellent standard of skill and demonstrated the soul of Latin American football. Would you please give a warm round of applause to encourage the Sorocaba team!
Ladies and gentlemen!
I would like to offer to heaven this precious new ceremony by reading with you now the message from Heaven that I proclaimed in January at the Coronation for the Right of the Liberation of God, the King of Kings. Please engrave the meaning of today’s event in your hearts.

True Parents' Address on the Occasion of the Coronation for the Right of the Liberation of God, the King of Kings

Peace-loving citizens of God’s kingdom of Cheon Il Guk!
This is truly a precious and joyful day.
Let us all celebrate without reserve this historic and providential day and sing praises to God, our eternal True Parent, of His glory and nobility. On this solemn occasion, hundreds of billions of those living in the spirit world are here with us to congratulate and celebrate this blessed day.
This is the day God has yearned for ever since He created the universe. For tens of thousands of years, since the day those He created as His children, Adam and Eve, stained the heavenly lineage and concealed themselves in the dark, God has waited while enduring inexpressible pain and sorrow. He has waited impatiently for the day He could ascend to the throne of the king of kings, to be able to embrace His lost children and the creation again and live in joy for all eternity in the sacred reign of peace in the peace kingdom.
Ladies and gentlemen, God is and has always been the king of kings, even before He initiated the Creation. The heavenly way, however, dictates that after completing all aspects of the Creation, God must manifest substantially as the king of kings who reigns over the world of physical phenomena, the sphere of the objects of God’s love. That is why, motivated by true love, God sought and found the True Parent of the substantial world, who was to become His representative and heir.
Although we are overwhelmed by the grace of having received Heaven’s seal, my wife and I are truly joyful to be able to stand here as God’s direct representatives and hold this coronation for the king of kings. At the same time I am deeply sorry before Heaven; I have reached my ninetieth year of life, yet I have been unable to fully restore the 6.5 billion people of the world to God.
Citizens of the Cheon Il Guk who love God! Heaven will no longer wait. God is working with His authority as the king of kings through His representatives, the earthly True Parents, to establish a new heavenly law and restore the world. It is time to accelerate this true love revolution. Therefore, on this solemn occasion, I will proclaim to all of heaven and earth an outline of the new heavenly law, by which humankind and all things of creation will regain their rightful positions and be governed.
First, this era, which is gradually bringing us toward the year 3,000, will be the era of revolutionary change after the coming of heaven. In this era, we will no longer be captive of the principles of restoration through indemnity; it will be the time when the king of kings rules the spiritual and physical worlds with His rightful authority. It will be the era of the providence during which the earth will return to its original state, with the realm of the Pacific Rim serving as a central axis. People will no longer be beyond the influence of the new way of Heaven and of the new heavenly law. Therefore, you must lead a transparent life with your every action being as clear as a crystal.
Second, we must accomplish a revolution in educating all people on the value of absolute sexual ethics, with God as their vertical, absolute axis. This is the only way to pass on the good lineage to all humankind. That is the path to achieving God’s ideal of true families. From now on, sexual purity, purity of lineage and purity of love will be the educational philosophy of the human race.
Third, the new Peace King Representatives (boon-bong-wangs) and the Parent UN will be placed at the forefront of the efforts to completely eliminate the walls and barriers that traverse the earth in multiple layers and to reinstate harmony and peace between political parties, religions, races, cultures and nations. The existing UN (in the position of the Cain-type UN) and the Abel-type UN should become one and elevate to a higher dimension, becoming the True Parent UN -- in other words, the True Peace UN. Centering on the True Peace UN, war, disease, hunger and all other problems confronting the world will be addressed and resolved. This is surely the direction all people must go. They will have no choice because God and True Parents will be with them. Individualistic self-centeredness as well as collective self-centeredness will be eradicated, and this will lead to the realization of a world governed by our conscience and natural reason.
Fourth, the cross-cultural, international blessing marriage is the optimal method of establishing true families that will purify the lineage of the fallen human race and build the peace kingdom. In the end, reconciliation and peace will come about through lineage. When blacks and whites, Eastern peoples and Western peoples, Buddhists and Christians, and Jews and Moslems intermarry and carry on the blessed marriage tradition that True Parents have established, this world will naturally become one family. An ideal, heavenly kingdom based on the ideal of one family under God will come about. As we melt our guns and cannons to make plowshares, a new world of peace will open up before us.
Fifth, God created us as His counterparts in love, and He prepared the natural world as a gift for us, His children. God would not leave His children to live in a barren desert devoid of beautiful scenery. That is why all people have the duty to preserve and love the natural world. I am saying that you should develop your human nature as it was originally meant to be, such that you experience resonance even with a cluster of wild flowers as if you were sharing a heartfelt conversation with them. That will be the shortcut to restoring humankind to God.
Ladies and gentlemen who have been chosen!
You have all truly received a heavenly blessing. You are participating in the ceremony to launch the providential undertakings governed by the king of kings. You are witnessing with your own eyes the whirlwind of this historic transition point. You received an invitation to attend the coronation of the True Parent, the king of kings on the horizontal level, who will govern all of creation as the physical representative of God, the king of kings on the vertical level. Will you ever again, in your lifetime, have the chance to attend such a historic and significant occasion? Your ancestors numbering in the billions are cheering and dancing in joy and delight at this time, shaking the very axis of the earth.
I pray that you will open your mind’s eyes and engrave this extraordinary and historic moment on your soul. When else during your life will you be able to witness such a day of blessing and glory as you have today? I hope that you can heed the words of Heaven that I have shared with you today and use them as guidelines for your life from now on.
Ladies and gentlemen who have been chosen! I am sure you all feel this from the message I have just read, but humankind is entering a new era wherein the earth will be governed directly by a new heavenly way and new heavenly law. It is the era of the new realm of the fourth Adam where no one can enter the new kingdom of heaven without inheriting God’s new standard of heart based on His original nature.
Through True Parents’ providential Golden Wedding Anniversary and the commemoration of the fifty-fifth anniversary of the founding of HSA-UWC, I pray that you may become the wise and new citizens of Cheon Il Guk who thoroughly distinguish between Cain and Abel in your lives, who integrate them into a new realm of Abel, placing goodness at its center, and who restore the realm of the three generations.
I am asking you to form, and live as, new true families based on original human nature through which the new true grandparents, true parents, and true grandchildren can enter, hand in hand, into the new kingdom of heaven. Please do not forget that this is the meaning of the new Rally to Establish the True Peace Parent UN, which we are celebrating today.
I pray and proclaim in the names of the victorious True God and True Parents that the new authority of the great Blessing of God, the King of King of all nations, can flow abundantly into your new families, new nations, and throughout the new cosmos.
Thank you very much.
